I / THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. Tiwir®''' 3 PASSENGER RATE CASE Louisville and Nashville Fight ing Order fdr Two and One- Half Cent Rate MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 15.—At torney General Robert C. Brickell has Rone to Birmingham where he will ap pear Tuesday at the hearing of the ap plication for an appeal filed by the Louisvile and Nashville railroad in the contempt proceedings recently deckled by Federal Judge W., I. Grubb, in the passenger rate case. Judge Grubb de clined to hold the state railroad com mission in contempt for issuing an or der requiring the Louisville and Nash ville to establish a 2 1-2 cent passen ger rate on its lines in Alabama. It is understood- that the railroad de sires another hearing in the case and has filed procedeings with this end in view. The railroad will ask Judge Grubb for permission to appeal the mat ter to the TJrHted States circuit court. In case Judge Grubb permits the rail road to appeal the matter it is likely that a temporary order restraining the railroad commission from enforcing its order on May 20 will be asked. To become permanent, however, it will be necessary for three federal judges to pass on' the prayer of the railroad for an injunction. Unless the temporary injunction becomes permanent before May 20 the order o<f the commission es tablishing the 2 1-fj cent rate will be come effective on tnat date. In h brief talk with Judge Grubb over tne lo-ng distance telephone Monday, At torney General Brickell was informed of the action of the railroad in asking ior the appeal. The attorney general immediately notified Judge Grubb that he would be present at the hearing Tuesday. Conferences have been held for several days by the attorneys of the railroad at legal headquarters in Louisville. Sydney J. Bowie, counsel for the rail road, attended the conference in Louis ville and will probably have charge of the litigation brought before Judge Grubb. • ••' ; - .

Ga CAt TROUBLE EXPECTED OVER SMITH DETERMINED TD J. Street Car Company Prepares to Resume Service With Non-Union Men Georgia Senator Will Keep Georgian's Name Before Sen ate Until Action Is Taken (By Associated Press.) CINCINNATI, Ohio. May 15.—Serious trouble was anticipated today by“ city authorities, following the announcement that the Cincinnati Traction company had refused to recognize tne recently or ganized union of its employes who have effectually tied up the transportation of the city since last Saturday by their strike. The company today prepared to re- sumq service on all of its lines, em ploying men who are not affiliated with the .union, .... <> The union men last night Vdt&l unani mously to break off all negotiations with ■jthe company until the uniop is recog nized. Before the street car company attempted to resume its service'today Chief of Police Copeland had, squads of men stationed at all car barn£ and an emergency squad of TOO men ready to rush to the scene of any trouble. Realizing the gravity of the Situa tion, ‘Mayor Henry Hunt last night is sued a proclamation asking that citi zens refrain from congregating in groups and from interfering with the operation of the street cars. He also promised police protection to the cars which the traction (jompony intends to start. Since the tie-up became effective Sat urday motor cars and trucks of all kinds have been at a premium and it was believed that many owners of these vehicles have reaped enormous profits. The first effort to operate street cars here since negotiations wth the strikers were broken off, was made by the trac tion company today. Surrounded by po lice, three cars were started from the Avondale barns for the down town dis trict. Polire and detectives were sta tioned along the route. Mayor Hunt trailed the cars in his automobile. Before the evars started on the trip the police were nstructed to act vigor ously in case of trouble.

Prince of Peace Is Captain of Bryan’s Super-Dreadnaught (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 15.—Foreign del egates in this country preparing for the centenary celebration of the treaty of Ghent departed today for Philadelphia. Secretary Bryan today bade tne dele gates from the British empire farewell in the name of the United States. In the course of his remarks he said the preparations for the peace celebration were in the nature of the building of the greatest superdreadnaught, and that’ it was called “Friendship.” “Its compass is the heart,” said Mr. Bryan in describing the ship of peace. “Its shell carry good will, its missiles are projected by the smokeless powder of love, its captain is the prince of peace. “I want you to drink with me to the battleship of Friendship.

Bureau of Corporations Sends Part Three on Cost of Pro duction to President (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 14.—Part Three of the report of the bureau of corpor ations on its extended investigation of the steel industry, dealing particularly with the cost of production, was sub mitted to the president today by Acting Commissioner Francis Walker. A dis cussion of the vast difference between “book costs” and “net costs” featured the report, figures being given to dem onstrate that iron and steel manufac turing companies usually include in their statements of costs of production large profits paid to subsidiary ore and transportation concerns. . For Bessemer steel rails, for instance, the report stated that the average book cost of th e United States Steel corpor ation was $21.53, while, the actual net cost, excluding intercompany profit on transportation and material, was only *jl6.67. Similar differences were shown in the manufacture of other steel pro ducts. Parts One and Two of the .bureau’s report were submitted during the Taft administration by former Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith. BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, May 15.—Notwith standing the filibuster inaugurated yester day by the Republicans against the con firmation of William J. Harris, as direc tor of the census, the Georgia senators are determined to keep his name before the senate. They believe that eventually they will force the minority to yield. “Mr. Harris’ confirmation is a question of time and patience,” explained Senator Smith today. “We held them in session for five hours yesterday, and we are go ing to keep right after them until the backbone of the opposition is broken. They haye nothing against Mr. Harris. Not a single reason has been presented to sustain their fight against his con firmation. They simply want Durand to serve until July 1. “If we can keep a quorum of the sen ate present continuously, I anticipate no serious trouble in forcing Mr. Harris’ con firmation.” Senate Republicans began their first big fight on President Wil son’s, nominations last night when the appointment of W. J. Har ris, of Georgia, as director of the census, succeeeding E. Dana Durand, was taken up in executive session. For nearly five hours the senate played at cross purposes on the Harris nomina tion without ever entering Into a dis cussion of the merits of the case. The Republicans forced roll call after roll call on questions of procedure and in support of tactics which the Dem ocrats termed dilatory. Motions to put the nomination over until tomorrow, un til Friday and until next week were put and defeated an finally when the membership on both sides had dwin dled away to almost nothing, adjourn ment was taken until today at noon with the Harris nomination still just where it was when the doors were closed shortly before 4 o’clock. Republican leaders have served no tice that they expect to keep up the fight against the confirmation of Har ris until July 1, at least, when Mr. Durand has announced his intention to quit. Under the senate rules there is no question of their ability to filibus ter to Yheir hearts’ content, and if they are willing to go into long executive sessions day after day they can prevent confirmation as long as their talking powers last. During th© debate an unsuccessful attempt was made to invoke the famous “Reed rule” by which members present In tlie chamber but not voting were counted in an attempt to disclose a quorum. This innovation brought forth more speeches and before the session ended most of the Democrats and a large part of the Republicans had spoken, although none touched upon the nomination itself. A minority report against Harris was filed by Senator Townsend, and Sena tors La Follette and Cummins also were Interested in the case. Senator Burton declared after the debate’ had proceed ed for several hours that he was win ing to review the history of census from the present day to the time ol Babylon before he would see Harris confirmed. Mr. Burton was strongly or the opinion that Mr. Durand should have been aJlqTV^d * serve out- his term. ' - The Republican fight centers largely on the contention that offices requiirng technical knowledge or scientific attain ments should not be given as political rewards, but that qualification and ex perience should be the only yard stick. Mr. Harris was chairman of the Dem ocratic tsate executive committee of Georgia in the last campaign arid is known as an original Wilson man. His appointment was one of the early ones to important offices sent in by Presi dent Wilson. Republicans on the census committee served notice almost immediately after the appointment that they expected to fight his confirmation. Efforts were made by Democrats who wished to smooth out the difficulties,- to have Mr. Durand retained in office until July 1 but ata meeting of the committee ten days ago the nomination was ordered reported by a majority vote; Senator Townsend, the only Republican pres ent, voting against it, and throwing down the gauge of battle for the minor ity side. The fight began immediately after the executive session was ordered at the request of Senator Bacon. Such persistent opposition to any one presidential nomination has not been manifested in the senate for many years. Hundreds of former President Taft’s appointments were held up dur ing; the closing days of the last session, but attacks were not directed toward any individual nomination, and at no time did the senate spend so many hours behind closed doors in the discus sion of such appointments. The last long struggle over a nomina tion recalled by senators was that over the appointment of Leonard Wood, now major general and chief of staff of the army, when he was jumped to the rank of brigadier general over the heads of scores of men who had served many years longer than he in the army. Gen eral Wood finally was confirmed after the senate chamber had overflowed with oratory against him and in his sup port. FIGHT FDR HEARINGS G, 0, P. and Moose Senators Insist on Tariff Hearings Be fore Finance Committee (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 15.—Senate Re publicans were again ready today to prolong consideration of the public hear ings issue they have raised as the open ing wedge in their fight on the Under wood tariff bill. Senator Penrose’s amendment to Sen ator Simmon’s reference motion has now become the Ponrose-LaFollette amend ment, the Pennsylvanian having accept ed a proposal that manufacturers be required to answer sixteen questions relating to production and transporta tion costs here and abroad and the percentages of duty that represent cost differences and profits. Democratic leaders deny they have any fear of letting the public hearing amendment come to a vote. It was in the midst of the debate yesterday that Senator Bacon moved for an executive session, and that gave rise to rumors that the .majority wanted more time to rally opposition to the Republican attack. The Democrats’ point, however* to the vote of 48 to 34 on the motion for an executive session as an indica tion of strength against open hear ings. When the discussion was resumed at noon it seemed unlikely that a vote would be reached. 400 RILLED IN BATTLE Federals Receive Reinforce ments and Expect Aid From Gunboat in Harbor FLAMS AIR TRIP FROM KEY WEST TO HAVANA KEY WEST, Fla., May 16.—Augustine j Parla, tile aviator, will enter the eon- | test for the $10,000 prize offered by the city of Havana, Cuba, for the lrst suc cessful. flight from Key West to that place.

WASHINGTON, May 14.—Detectives investigating the theft of plans ror the electrical wiring of the dreadnaught Pennsylvania declared today that publi cation of the “leak” probably would hamper their work. The department of justice has several likely clews which may lead to arrests. Nothing so far has developed, it is said, to directly comiect any foreign nation with the suspects. The fact that the ordnance and steam engineering bureaus of the navy de partment have been missing plans ana documents relating to American vessels and their armament has created alarm among officials, and will undoubtedly cause the military authorities to sur round the war secrets of the United States with greater safeguards. None of the missing papers, officials reiterated today, was important or con tained secrets of advantage to foreign nations. Some officials were inclined to believe the losses probably were the result of clerk’s carelessness. The second set of plans of the new dreadnaught Pennsylvania to be stol en from the bureau of steam engin eering were taken between the evening of Saturday, March 22, and the follow ing Monday. The plans were duplicat ed of those stolen March 4. Secretary Daniels today reiterated that they would be of no particular value to any one seeking naval information not gen erally made public as they contained no military secrets. (By Associated Press.) NOGALES, Ariz., May 15.—Agents of the Huerta government here assert they have received word that more federal reinforcements have arrived by boat at Guaymas and that the main group be- ieged a few miles north will be able to work its way into the gulf town. The Mexican gunboat Guerrero, lying in the harbor, is expected to assist the federal garrison. The most conservative estimate of the killed in the fighting above Guaymas place the dead at 400. Rebels Capture Town of Hostotpaquillo Tuesday (By Associated Ptetil,) GUADALAJARA, Mexico, May 15.— Rebels under Julian Mediana, a former jefe politico, today occupied the town of Hostotpaquillo, sixty miles north west of Guadalajara, and the center ot the ihost important mining district of Jalisco. The small garrison and townspeople held off the rebels for four hours. Six federal soldiers were killed. When the insurgents entered Hostotloquillo they looted the stores and burned the court house. Several "big American camps are in that vicihity. FALSE EXPENDITURE OF STRIKE FUND CHARGED \ No Satisfactory Explanation Given of Expenditure of $10,- 800 of Lawrence Fund (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, Mass., May 15.—No satis factory explanation, of the disposition of $10,800 orut of a total of more than $6S,000 subscribed for the benefit of the striking operatives and their families during the textile strike at Lawrence a year ago has been made, according to the finding today of Winfield S. Slo cum, who, as master, investigated the strike expenditures. Joseph Debard, secretary of the com mittee to solicit funds for the strikers, deposited $10,800 in his own name in the Lawrence Trust company, and later drew checks for $2,800 to Vincent St. John, of Chicago, secretary of the In dustrial Workers of the World; $3,000 to Thomas Powers, a textile worker, of Providence, and $5,000 to Desire Steur, of Lawrence. It was claimed that these disburse ments were returned to the strikers’ fund, but Slocum finds that the money was not returned. Neither Joseph J. Ettor nor William D. Haywood, leader of the Industrial Workers, received any of the fund. Proceedings against Bedard and other members of the strike fund committee were brought by Attorney General Swift at the instigation of three Bos ton contributors, who complained that the money had been “improperly used for private and personal ends.” An accountant found that about $10,- 800 was paid to Joseph Shaheen, treas urer of the strike committee; $8,000 to Angelo Rocco and $5,000 to August De- tolleneare. These three men had direc tion of the relief work. The accounts of Shaheen fail to show the expendi ture of $2,500, and in Rocco’s accounts ther© is an item for $226 for which no voucher could be found. IN. A. GOODRICH SHOOTS SELF AT GRIFFIN HOME Insurance Man Takes Own Life-Leaves Wife and Three Small Children No Longer Cranky About His Meals (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) GRIFFIN, Ga., May 15.—W. A. Good rich, one of the most prominent young business men of Griffin, and known all over the state in Insurance circles, com mitted suicide this morning b” shooting himself in the mouth. Mr. Goodrich was alone in his room at the time he committed the deed.,, His wife was downstairs, when she heard the report of the weapon. Rushing to her room, she found her husband lying across the bed partially dressed and with a gaping wound in the head. Phy sicians were summoned, but death had resulted almost instantaneously. Mr. Goodrich had been suffering with nervous affection for some time and had become very despondent, which is the only cause that can be assigned for the deed. He is survived by his wife, three small children, a brother and father. He was one of the most popular young men in the city, and his death has cast a shadow of sorrow over the entire com munity. ,S. TEST ANTI-ALIEN LAW No Further Move Will Be Made by Japan Until Bill Is Signed (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 15.—The Japa nese ambassador will take no further steps in the protest against the Cali fornia anti-alien land law until Gov ernor Johnson acts upon the bill be fore him. Should he sign it, it was learned today that Japan, without mak ing further representations to the state department, will wait a reasonable time to see what the federal administra tion intends to do to meet the complaint against the measure. It was indicated today that Japan would not move to test the constitu tionality of the law, but was inclined to the yiew it is incumbent upon the United States to take up that phase of the question. Although it is understood here that Governor Johnson has thirty days to act, officials believe his answer to Sec retary Bryan’s last communication will be received within a. week. The Japanese situation was'discussed today at the cabinet meeting. E L Has perfect digestion from the use of a well-known remedy that all can obtain The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table, depend so much on the good digestion of each in dividual present that the experiences of some former dyspeptics who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give—but it is advice that is seldom heeded—Is to eat slowly and misticate each mouthful carefully. However, if slow eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant, and in addition to helping in the digestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of waste that should long ago have been passed off. It is safe, reliable, pleasant-tasting, and results are guaranteed. In the opinion of such people as Mr. L. J. Quinh, 1117 Newport Ave., Chica go, it is the ideal remedy for indigestion, no matter how severe, constipation, no matter how chronic, billiousness, head aches, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar annoyances. Mr. Quinn says: “We use Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin as a family remedy and every member of the family from the five-year-old, who is the youngest of six children, to Mrs. Quinn and my self, use it for stomach trouble, sick headache and to regulate the bowels.” You can obtain Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size being MX. Xi. J. QUINN. bought by heads of families already fa-j miliar with its merits. Results are al- j ways guaranteed or money will be re-< funded. When you use Syrup Pepsin you willj see the fallacy of chewing mints and tablets or of taking cathartics, salts, j pills and similar drastic medicines. Un like these, Syrup Pepsin does not lose I its good effect, and by automatically; training the stomach and bowel muscles j to do their work, soon restores these' organs to normal. If no memberf your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before I buying it in the regular way of a drug-, gist, send your address—a postal will j do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 425 Washing-j ton St., Monticello, Ill., and a free sam ple bottle will be mailed to you.

Perry, sixty-five years old, a marshal, both of Girard, Ala,, is near death as the result of a pistol duel at the corner of First street and Second avenue last night about midnight.

Pe ry’s son, Otis, shot and killed for mer Chief of Police James Floyd, of Girard, last year, and is. now awaiting trial. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, May 15.—The British for eign office is hopeful of an early set tlement of the British claims against Guatemala. The last dispatches re ceived from the British minister indi cated that a satisfactory reply to the British demand was anticipated. The British minister’s instructions authorize him to call on a British war ship should he think its presence in Guatemala waters desirable. There fore, although the foreign office had not, as late as today, been advised that the British cruiser Aeolus had de parted. fror* Kingston, Jamaica, for Puerto Barrios, it is thought quite like ly that the British minister has called upon her commander to hasten, by the appearance of th e vessel, the payment of th© long overdue debt. Although the matter is considered as one absolutely between Great British and Guatemala, the United States gov ernment has been advised of the British intention to insist upon the payment of the bondholders. Guatemala's fail ure to do this as promised at the end of April has, it is stated in official circles, only made the British ministers notes to the Guatemalan government more insistent.
